This unique home is situated on a quiet dead-end road, Poleo Road, named after the mint that grows along the banks of the acequia madre that flows through the property. This area is a very desirable agricultural zone in the heart of Costilla, with easy and quick access from paved roads. It is adjacent to Rio Costilla Livestock Association land that will remain undeveloped. It has attached water rights, drawing water from the Acequia Madre de Rio Costilla dating back to 1853. Farming and ranching opportunities abound here, as well as elk hunting. In this land, animals are more present than people, so elk, deer and other game are plentiful. This place is a birders' paradise! Buyers are encouraged to consider purchase of adjacent parcel with large home and 18.47 acres. The home stands in a big open pasture, surrounded by agricultural fields. There is an abundance of mature landscaping including lilacs and garden beds, an aspen grove, plum orchard, as well as apple and pear trees, ponderosas, blue spruce, and more. The views are spectacular! To the north lies 14,000 foot plus Mount Blanca, and to the west sits the ancient volcano Ute Mountain. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing here. The peace, calm, and serenity are hard to beat anywhere in Taos County! This cozy, custom-built, three-bedroom home features exposed posts and beams, over 9 foot tall vaulted ceiling, and custom details like built-in shelving. The home is loaded with natural light, with large north-facing windows revealing the gorgeous scenery right outside. Right next to the home is a 12 by 20 foot workshop with many windows, on a cement slab. It is 2x6" framed and insulated and has electric as well as a wood-burning stove. There is another outbuilding for storage, which includes an insulated space for more climate control.
